We’ve looked at loads of sites for a boy’s name (don’t know what we are having yet!) and can’t seem to agree on any.
I thought of Reuben, thoughts please?
Thanks

My son's name so obviously I'm biased but I think it's a great name! We liked a lot of 'R' names so it was hard to choose but this was the one that we both liked equally and 2 years on I've no regrets. He's called Reuben 95% of the time, and occasionally Reubs.

Several people commented to us when we named him that it's a 'strong name'.

It does occasionally get misspelt (Ruben/Rueben) but then so do me and my partner's names (which are fairly common).

Other names I liked in case we have similar taste: Matthew, Alexander, Owen, Euan, Ruairidh, Ronan, Robin, Jamie.
